Golf and Midwives

Ok, so what do the two have to do with each other?  Well, they are what I had to take photographs of yesterday.  I do a project called "A Year in the Life at Tabor Academy" (for those of you who do not know) and parents hire me to follow their kids around all year taking photos of them here at Tabor for different events.  This year I have someone who is playing golf for their spring sport.  I have never had a client play golf before so I thought that it would be fun.  I was right.  Now I know why people play golf.  These kids get to play on a course that has a waiting list longer than you can imagine with a nice $30,000 fee (that you get back once you are done with your membership)...this is cheap considering the club that just opened with a $200,000.00 price tag to go along with it.  The course we were on yesterday was rated #44 out of the best 100 courses to play in the United States.  It is beautiful being right on the water and playing in the quiet clean grass that I would have no problem stepping on without shoes.  (I know, huge, right?)  Although I had no idea about etiquette (I wore workout pants...NOT allowed...and a zip up sweatshirt...ALSO not really allowed)  no one was on the course yesterday so I did not get in trouble.  Here are some photos from the shoot.  Below is a golf ball that Tabor has made special with the Tabor logo printed on it.  Cool!

Earlier in the day I took a photo of my original midwife.  Because South Coast Hospitals no longer allow VBAC's (Vaginal Birth After a Cesarian) I was forced to go to South Shore Hospital.  I had a great experience there and everything turned out very successful.  I was asked to take a photo of my original midwife for a local newspaper.  She is going to write an article and needed a photo.  I have two that I like and I got to use Manny in one of the images as a prop.  Louise is very uncomfortable posing for pictures, but I think her face says it all with kind smiley eyes that make you as a patient feel calm and reassured.
